We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Sometimes, when finances are tight, you actually get to focus on the reason for the season instead of the material aspects of the holiday. Christmas is always a tough season financially. But, this year, we put together a great tree.

| Goodwill Tree and Dollar Tree Ornaments |
We got a 4 or 5-foot tree that is perfect for our apartment. It has LED lights built in and a golden base. Best of all, it was only $10.91 from Goodwill. We decorated it with a star, ornaments, and garlands from Dollar Tree. We probably have $6.00 in ornaments on the tree and it looks really good! When the LED lights are turned off it looks like a typical tree, but when the LED lights are on and the room lights are off, the tree really looks magical!
When money is tight, a little ingenuity can provide a lot of fun. We have enjoyed free military band Christmas concerts, thrift store Christmas music CD's, and free holiday light displays. Churches also put on live nativity scenes and Christmas pageants. Cities and towns have tree lighting ceremonies. Just keep your eyes open and you'll find plenty to do!
